You can get the 5035 with a power shuttle trans, so no clutching for F-R, but that is more money.
I always recommend as many remotes as possible, minimum of 2. None of us are getting any younger and it is nice to have a hydraulic do the work for us. If you are going to do much if any grading, you will want to get top and tilt hydraulics at some point. 
Glad that you looked at the 5035, to bad that the ergonomics don't work for you. They are a nice machine. Over the length of time that you will own it, that extra money may not be to bad, I probably would not pay it, but I know some that would.
Good luck with your decision, look at both again, or maybe go up a step in the LS machines to see how it would be.
DON'T RUSH INTO ANYTHING
